The Official 2014 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Microfracture]

I hope my cavs can get a good coach In place who will bring some type of offense that both Kyrie, Waiters, Bennet, Thompson can benefit from I think Luol will just need to go this team is too young and not in position to contend yet...

I really think we should go best player available no matter the position...But team needs are SF, C, interior scoring and shooting.

I got my eyes on Exum, McDermott, Hood, randle, smart, vonleah, Anderson, Harris.

I'm also not opposed to packaging waiters with the pick for a Klay, barnes package but I know that won't happen.

Those were the needs last year and somehow, some way those are still the needs. That's practically an entire squad

I'm done til the lotto, see yall in hell.

Just need someone to come up in the draft lottery so Detroit can give us that pick

I forget who, may have been Don Nelson but they envisioned a team full of 6'8" - 6'10" guys where there was no PG or C and no real positions, could the Cavs be the pioneers?

Pioneers of getting that culo blown open

they tryin to make kyrie fake his death and re-enter the draft under the name of Ron Mexico

 

[trick]

@tremonthustler1 i'll take Toronto in the mock draft.

It may sound crazy but if the damn Cavs gm at the time Chris Grant just drafted off of the mock drafts we'd have

C:Jonas
PF:Thompson
SF: Barnes
SG:Oladipo
PG:Kyrie

Or they could of picked Drummond and the year before instead of Jonas went with a dude like Knight.

The bottom line is the horrible gm is why we are messed up...I hope this new dude is good.

C:Thompson
PF:Bennet
SF:Hood
SG:Waiters
PG:Kyrie

fukk it just run. @tremonthustler1 I'll take the cavs with the group of Ohio players on the coli.

He wants LA. He's playing the game well. I'm kinda surprised he hasn't already floated out a promise so he can duck workouts

Shot in the dark prediction:

1. Bucks
2. Jazz
3. Magic

Philly falls to 4 in any event IMO

in this scenario my top 5 is

1. Wiggins
2. Parker
3. trade pick OR Exum
4. Randle
5. Embiid
6. Lakers shop the hell outta this pick

LOL @ thinking there's actually a lottery. this shyt is rigged. Lakers and Celtics getting top 3.

1. Lakers - Wiggins
2. Bucks (to ease suspicion) - Embiid
3. Celtics - Parker

 

[tremonthustler1]

Thinking about having y'all do a mock draft where the person picking the team is chosen at random. Probably wouldn't try that til after the main one is done but I could see that one generating some fukkery.

 

[GoldenGlove]

If we can get 2 picks in the top 5

I really like how the FO handled getting rid of Dwight. We managed to get talent and picks. Now all we need to a good coach...we should have never let go of SVG . Watch him turn Drummond into Dwight 2.0.

Damn, what's wrong with Vaughn breh?

 

[GoldenGlove]

Tremont you're thoughts on Doug McDermott and james McAdoo?

From Rotoworld...

Creighton F Doug McDermott fared poorly during physical measurements at the NBA draft combine, measuring 6'6" without shoes with a 6'9" wingspan.

McDermott poured in 26.7 points per game with the Bluejays last season, earning Naismith Player of the Year honors, but his lackluster size and poor defense may hamper his draft stock. McDermott suggested that he's suited to playing SF but could eventually play PF, and as a pure scorer with intriguing upside he's still projected to be a lottery pick.

I don't think there's anything wrong per se but he doesn't do anything particularly great. Most of the decisions he's had to make like having Vucevic as a focal point on offense and giving Harris more shots have been no-brainers. SVG had a system in place that took us to the finals. It's just rough to see what we've become but optimistic because we've got good young players.

@tremonthustler1 gimme the hawks breh

I think he did a great job at competitively tanking. Magic played mostly everybody tough and would still lose late... that's a great place to be in when you're rebuilding and have good picks to work with

 

[Gifted one]

The Magic can be on a big come up if they draft right, nice young core of OladiGOAT, and Vucci Mane, Afflalo still playing at a high level too

That's a good point actually. I know they're only in year 3 of the rebuilding process but I think it's time for the Magic to look to move upwards now. They're be the two lottery picks plus there's cap room to bring in some good FA's. A playoff spot should be an aspiration.

@tremonthustler1 , I'll vote on behalf of Heat commission

Adam Morrison type bust in the waiting. Expect him to be out of the league in 3 seasons.
